Overall Outcomes for the Landscaping Code

The proposal includes 101m? area as landscaped area which meets the requirement
for 10% of the site area. The Landscape Plan is included in Proposal Plans of the
Development in Appendix B of this report; which contains details of the variety of
species that will be used.

The types of vegetation that will be used have been chosen to integrate into a similar
landscaped area that exists on the adjoining property to the west. All of the chosen
species are low maintenance and are drought tolerant.

All landscaping is designed to not obstruct the views of pedestrians or vehicles using
the area and are kept at a low height where necessary. Landscaping that is situated
next to impervious surfaces is designed to collect any storm-water runoff before it
leaves the site.

This landscaping plan is considered to be compliant with the overall outcomes for the
landscaping code.
